Hello, I've noticed that it would be nice to run QThread::exec() from a functor
passed to QThread::create(). However, exec is marked as protected, thus I can't
call QThread::currentThread()->exec().
Maybe it is worth to make exec() public method? Or make it static, like in QApp
(is it BC?)?
This would be a nice addition to the create() method so worker objects can be
created in a functor on stack instead of moving them to thread.

The reason why QThread::exec is protected so that people don’t get tempted to
call it directly on a QThread object and expecting that the event loop is
somehow executed in a separate thread. It is useful to generate a compile-time
error when this is attempted:
QThread *heyNewThread = new QThread;
heyNewThread->exec();
I would rather not remove that limitation (and it would break BC on compilers
that include the access level in the generated symbol). Making exec() public
would indicate that the above is ok, while it actually breaks the semantics.
No need to access QThread::exec().
One can just call
QEventLoop().exec();
And that has the same effect.
